Chapter 10

Mamoru scowled in frustration on the interruption by Jade, and Usagi at his side smirked. "I think you wife's calling you, Mamoru," she said and made the move to get up from the bed to open the door, but Mamoru was there already. He opened the door and both saw Jade, her face red with sweat, like she just ran from where she work.

"Mamoru, what the hell are you doing here? Mary told-.. I mean, I saw you carrying Usagi back to the hotel-"

Mamoru laughed. "You didn't see it for yourself, you had your gossip friends hanging around to check me if I intend to screw anyone I see! Who do you think you are? My mother doesn't even humiliate me like that!"

Jade's face screwed up like a crumpled paper. "It's not like that Mamoru, I just wanted to make sure you are faithful to me". She turned towards Usagi. "And I've caught you red handed cheating on me. You decided to leave me, when you parade around the town, with you carrying Usagi as if she's your wife. I'm your wife!," she screamed and pointed towards Usagi. "Not Usagi!".

Usagi frowned. "What's wrong with you? I'm not here to seduced Mamoru. He was here confessing about what happen to him when he left the school"

Jade's face whiten. "Nothing happen! We just made passionate love, because that's we always wanted!"

"Come off it, Jade, the shows off. I told her everything, including the pregnant ploy," Mamoru said, annoyed.

"No! We both love each other very much! That's why both of us married!," Jade shouted.

Mamoru gave a sigh of annoyance. "I haven't love you at all, even after the day we married till now, Jade"

Jade started crying. "This can't be happening!". She turned towards Usagi and then pointed a thin finger at her. "It's all because of you, you bitch! You've turned him against me! We were doing great till you show your pretty ass up here! Just go back to New York! You never did belong here!"

Mamoru walked towards Jade and took her hand in a tight grip. "That's enough, Jade. Usagi's appearance In Mandela, because yes, I love her till now, but we won't ever be back together again"

Jade stopped crying. "Really?"

"Yes, I was just explaining to Usagi what happen, so we don't have bad feelings when she leaves," he said with annoyance. "And you're intruding"

"I'm your wife! I've a right a to listen to your conversation!"

"Not on this one, Jade. Go home now. I'll see you later," he said coldly and started to drag her towards the door. Jade pulled her hand away from Mamoru's grip and stare coldly at Usagi.

"I'll leave now, and I'll hope you'll go back to New York as soon as possible. You're not welcome here, ever". An she turned her and walked away with as much dignity she had. Mamoru watched her go and then he slammed the door again. He turned towards Usagi.

"Usagi, I'm sorry-", She held up a hand.

"I think you should go now, Mamoru. I'll leave for New York tomorrow, and I won't be coming back to Mandela again," she informed him quietly.

"Fine. Have a safe trip back to New York," he said formally and lifted a hand in goodbye. She shook it and then turned away from him, suddenly felt she couldn't bear not seeing Mamoru anymore, but his wife will always come first even though he doesn't love her at all. She heard the door close shut and then clench her hand to keep from punching the wall.

In the evening when she was packing her bag, she heard a knock on her door. To her surprise, standing there was her mother, soak, with her luggages beside her. Her mother walked in, with her nose high and then flick towards the bag, "Why, don't just stand there, bring my luggages in". Usagi lifted a brow, but didn't do as her mother told but just stood there at the door.

"What are you doing here?," Usagi asks.

Her mother waved her hand at her. "Don't you talk to me like that young lady. I'm your mother!"

"I know that. But that's not the answer I want to hear. So, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be home with your family?"

Mrs. Tsukino shows her her upset face. "Are you denying me as your mother?"

"Of course I'm not"

"Then what are you waiting for? Bring my luggage in. I've decided to leave that family and join you in New York," Mrs. Tsukino said dismiss tone. "So, when are we leaving? I hope you've book the first class seat because we should travel in style, don't you think?"

"Mother, you're not going with me," Usagi said with a soft tone.

"What? I told you I'm coming with you. I'm your mother right?," Mrs. Tsukino said angrily. "Besides, I'm coming with you to check to see if you're staying in a good condition"

"No mother, you want to come with me because the Cages are broke and you've decided to follow me because I'm not to say as dirt poor as them now," Usagi said. "Our family bond has broken the minute you married Sam and join their household. Have you no shame? Coming back to me like a queen? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm your mother. I-"

"So what? Does not mean you allow Sieya to rape me? You gave me a message saying you were sick, and me, being so naive actually fall into your trap and nearly got rape if it isn't because of Mamoru. The sight of you makes me sick. Please leave now"

Mrs. Tsukino changes her plan and now pleads Usagi. "Please Usagi, I didn't really think the whole thing will turn into a mess! Sam force me to do it! I was crying inside the minute he told me call you. I was bleeding inside! Didn't you know, I was in my room crying my eyes out the minute you came into the house. I wanted to go after you, but the servants restrain me from going, all from the orders of Sam! I love you-"

"You're a liar!," Usagi bark. "Mamoru saw you happily walking around the park. Is that the time you claim you were crying in your room? I don't think so. You don't love me. You love money so much, look what is has done to you! You don't have any shame left in you. Get out from my sight and crawl back to the Cages, but I doubt they'll take you back!". She then turned away and stare angrily out the window. After a few minutes, she thought her mother would leave the room, to her surprise, she feels a light touch on her elbow. She turns around and look into her mother's teary eyes.

"Usagi, don't do this to me. I've got no where to go now. Please Usagi, don't do this to me.. show some sympathy to me.. your mother," her mother begged. Usagi paused and her mother's eyes sparked with hope. And then suddenly Usagi's eyes harden.

"Remember the time I begged you to support me and Mamoru as a couple and you hit me instead and set a date with me and Sieya, do you remember? I suggest you go back to the Cages and think about what I just said. Goodbye mother," Usagi said coldly all the while backing her mother out the room and then slammed the door in front of her face. Usagi knew that she should fell sick to the stomach for what she just did, all she felt was just relieved and gladness. She will now return to New York content.
